Jim Davila‘s appearance on The Waltons in 1973 is available on YouTube:
“Before he became the famous biblical scholar whom we know and love today, Jim Davila was a child actor. In 1973, little “Jimmy Davila”, as he was then named, starred in an episode of the popular 1970s television show, The Waltons (Season 2, Episode 9, “The Fawn”). He played Erin’s beau, “Harold Beasley.” Uncannily, the initials of the character’s name are the same as those which occur in “Hebrew Bible.””

Appalling … but really – has anyone heard of him outside his own field? …or the ‘biblioblogging world’?
Fantastic! Thanks, Tyrone, for digging this out.
You are just too liberal with your niceness Mark! Remember, I’m much more conservative than you, therefore I’m very conservative with my niceness so watch out! ;-)
He was a lover not a fighter :)
Great, Tyrone, thanks. I enjoyed this.
Didn’t you blog on it a couple of years ago Loren? I remember him being in the Waltons – I’m sure it was from you… :-)
No Steph, I never blogged any video-clips (or pics) of Jim Davila. I knew he was in the Waltons and may have alluded to it once, but I don’t recall.
Yes – I meant that, not that you had videos, just that you blogged it or rather blogged with it mentioned. I had definitely never seen that clip before? I wonder how Tyrone got it. Does he own collected Waltons?!!
I really enjoyed seeing this: I hadn’t heard that JD was a child actor before now. Nice work, Jim!
HB…like the pencils. And Hawkes Bay. t
